Im not interested in this 3D, Besides Just to play it requires me to buy a whole new t.v. which isnt worth it in my opinion.....Seems like a market ploy on sony's part to increase sales on its t.v. division

Sony as a whole are taking in 3D. They think 3D will be the next big thing (and I agree), and are gearing up to be prepared for when it gets popular. They are creating 3D movies with their movie division, 3D TVs with the TV division, games, etc.

In my experience 3D works best as a cool novelty that you do once or twice a week...

Its not something I want to do every day for gaming to be honest. There are issues with eye strain and headache if you do it too often, lights have to be completely off and there are other trade offs from making this tech accessible to everyone.

While you are right in saying its the next cool tech to get if you are a tech junkie, I don't see this ever being huge with the general public.

The 3D effects I get in games in movies is quite amazing...but I have a 67 inch TV. What % of the population is goign to buy a 60+ inch TV. I see a lot of people with 40 inch TVs or lower saying "whats the big deal?" or "this is too small...I'll just go to Imax when I want 3D"

The tech is still in a fledging state though, and I think those issues will become lesser over time. I don't know how long it will be, but it will happen, if not with the current tech, then some new "3D" technology.
